[Changes in autonomic homeostasis during anesthesia induction in patients operated on for congenital cleft palate]. / Izmeneniia vegetativnogo gomeostaza pri vvedenii v narkoz u operiruemykh po povodu vrozhdennogo nesrashcheniia neba.

Variation pulsometry was used to study vegetative homeostasis changes over the course of induction anesthesia and tracheal intubation in children operated on for palatal clefts. The same premedication scheme was employed in all the patients. The same neuroleptic doses were administered in induction anesthesia. Induction anesthesia parallel with electroanalgesia with an Electronarcol-1 apparatus helped reduce the promedol dose necessary for adequate anesthesiologic protection from 1.2-1.4. to 0.2-0.4 mg/kg. This was associated with the minimal changes in autonomic nervous system functioning, evidencing the efficacy of electroanalgesia in induction anesthesia for this patient population.

[A comparative evaluation of the traumatic nature of various methods of uranostaphyloplasty]. / Sravnitel'naia otsenka travmatichnosti razlichnykh metodov uranostafiloplastiki.

The authors compare the intensities of nociceptive stimulation and blood loss volumes in children subjected to radical uranostaphyloplasty involving the use of all the elements of the technique and to its sparing modifications. The level of pain aggression, blood loss volume, and mean length of the operation were lower with the sparing methods than with the traditional one, this leading to a conclusion on the lower traumatism of the sparing uranostaphyloplasty technique for the body.

[Ontogenetic features of autonomic homeostasis in children according to the data of variation pulsometry]. / Ontogeneticheskie osobennosti vegettivnogo gomeostaza detei po dannym variatsionnoi pul'sometrii.

A method of variation pulsometry was used to determine the vegetative homeostasis state in 20 children aged from 4 to 14. Normotonic type of the cardiac rhythm regulation was observed in a group of children aged 4-5. In children aged 12-14 the effect of sympathetic area of the vegetative nervous system decreased while the effect of the parasympathetic one increased. The tension index, effect of the humoral regulation channel and the degree of cardiac rhythm control centralization decreased.
